  Hi Jaap,
  
  If you look at the JSON return from the server, is it correctly showing the non-Roman characters? DataTables does just do an innerHTML for data set fromt he server- so if the above code works, it should work when sent back from the server as well.

  The non-Roman characters don't look right for me in Firebug: http://datatables.net/dev/zwemschooldeanemoon.nl.png . There isn't really any difference between the two nTd assignments that you've shown in code clips above - DataTables doesn't do any character encoding conversion. So I still think that the server isn't correctly returning UTF-8 (although I might be wrong ;-) ).
  
  It might be worth having a look through this thread (and it's link threads): http://datatables.net/forums/comments.php?DiscussionID=675#Item_4
  
  Another option might be to simple set the innerHTML of a test (empty) div on the page, just to see what happens when you take DataTables out of the loop.
  
  Regards,

  Thx a lot Allen
  
  inserting mysql_query("SET character_set_results=utf8", $gaSql['link']) in server_processing.php;
  
  from the thread you suggested was the solution.
  
  Again thanks for the excellent support and product.
